I’ve lived in W. Seattle for a month and I’ve been trying to make this place my go to happy hour spot, by coming weekly, but the service at the bar has been pretty crappy until today. Idk if the walk ability or the tacos is the what’s motivated me keep trying but today there was a shift. Jalen was welcoming and I didn’t have to signal or make a grand announcement that I’m present or ready to order. He brought me water shortly after I sat down, due to my previous experience...

Yummmmm. I think we found our go to date night spot! Everything here was so so so good. Our waitress Dara was so sweet ! It was a darker setting which I loved. The booths were nice and roomy. I loved that they actually still serve you free chips and salsa... you dont find that often anymore. The drinks were reasonably priced and really good. Food came out fresh and hot. Cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back and try now items! Oh they do to-go cups for unfinished drinks...

FIVE STARS for the Matador West Seattle! We had two meals there over the weekend for the Summer Fest and enjoyed both dinner and the next day Happy Hour food and drinks; both were delicious. Our server Athena both days was exceptional! We were impressed with the kitchen crew serving hot & delicious food quickly during the frenzy of the festival. Thank you we will be back next time we are in West Seattle.
